			This can also apply to the any NPC pacts you start the game with.<br>
			Demons can can only impart power or abilities they possess themselves.<br>
			The demon can give four kinds of gifts — Attributes, innate abilities, the enhancements of his apocalyptic form and evocations.<br><br>
			The Demon and Thrall will need to coordinate their contract with staff. Some "gifts" may not be allowed, or may need to be reduced in power, or may required a greater cost depending on the circumstances.

			'''Attribute:''' The demon can increase the thrall’s Attribute ratings, making her stronger or smarter. A thrall’s Attributes cannot rise above 5, however.<br><br.

			'''Enhancements:''' The demon can impart one of the eight enhancements of his apocalyptic form to a thrall, giving her the ability to grow fangs, soak lethal damage and more. Low-Torment demons can impart one of their high-Torment special abilities if desired at the cost of a temporary Torment point.<br><br>

			'''Evocations:''' The demon can even imbue a thrall with a weaker version of one of his evocations. The demon must decide on a specific evocation to bestow upon his servant.

			'''Other Abilities:''' Demons enjoy many special abilities, such as their immunity to possession. The demon
			can impart one of these advantages to a thrall. Similarly, the demon can bestow a gift of a more general nature, such as the ability to see or walk again.<br><br>

			Once the demon has decided on what abilities to bestow upon the thrall, the two enter into a pact. The demon agrees to imbue the thrall with power, while the mortal agrees to serve in whatever way the two agree upon. At the Storyteller’s discretion, the mortal might qualify as a source of offered Faith, but there are many other ways in which a mortal can help her master.<br><br>
			With the pact finalized, the deal is sealed with the demon’s gift. Imparting a gift to a mortal requires nothing more than a turn’s concentration. Many demons, however, like to add ritual and ceremony to the procedure in order to impress their new thralls. After concentrating, the demon mentally reshapes the thrall’s soul, using the mortal’s Faith as a tool. The stronger the thrall’s Faith is, the greater the
			changes the demon can make to her essence, and the more powerful the gifts the demon can bestow upon her.<br><br>
			No rolls are needed to reshape the mortal’s soul (but staff approval is). The mortal’s Faith rating is used as a “pool” of points for buying effects and gifts that benefit the thrall, according to the following guidelines:<br>
			• A point of Faith can be used to repair chronic injuries or impairments — allowing a paralyzed character to walk or giving sight to a blind thrall. If the mortal is missing lethal health levels as an effect of
			his condition, they are converted into bashing levels, which can then heal normally.<br>
			• A point of Faith can be converted into 10 freebie points. These points can be used to buy or improve traits such as Attributes, Abilities or Willpower. They cannot be used for improving Backgrounds.
			• One point of Faith can be used to impart one of the demon’s inherent powers, such as immunity to mind control. The thrall permanently benefits from this power, rolling Willpower (difficulty 7) to activate its effects.
			• One or more points of Faith can be used to give the mortal a limited evocation from the demon’s lore.
			This gift costs one to five Faith points, depending on the level of the evocation in question (i.e., a three-dot evocation would cost the mortal three of her Faith points.) To perform the evocation, the thrall must make a Willpower roll (difficulty 8), with the number of successes determining the scope and effect of the evocation.
			• One point of Faith bestows one of the enhancements of the demon’s apocalyptic form on the thrall. To benefit from the enhancement, the thrall must make a Willpower roll (difficulty 6). Success allows the thrall to use the enhancement for a scene. The demon can bestow more than one enhancement, but he must spend a point of Faith on each.
			• Up to half of the thrall’s Faith potential can be used to make the mortal a source of offered Faith, if
			the Storyteller approves.
